This is the month of roses. and a ladv
on Tenth street devoted to their culture
has worn them with great success every

is large enough to hold sufficient
water at the bottom to preserve them.
Into this she plunges the stalks of half
a dozen Jacquimemot roses, faStenS it Sc

rubber arrangement. In this way a
whole evening may be spent in hot

droop. The difference between natural
and artificial flowers need only to be
seen to be appreciated. The great

wool dresses will be much worn this
season. The skirt is white, braided with
brown. The full drapery is brown, as is
the basque, which has a white waiStcoat
braided with brown. A white hat
trimmed with number of brown spar
rows completes the toilet.
Swiss belts of jet are to be much
worn with white summer gowns.
Old blue and Charles Y. pink are
charmingly combined in the new ging-
hams.
Little rough straw hats are being i'm
ported from France for wear at the sea-
shore, trimmed with Madras handker-
chiefs tied in a number of uprightioopS.
These are called la Creole.
A pretty summer gown is in forget
me-not blue lawn, with tiny red dots. 1t
has shoulder cape, with long ends of
blue velvet of darker shade. The hat
is a rough white straw, the turned-up
brim being lined with China Grape it
has big bunch of forgetxme-alOts and
grasses high up in front.
A Singularly charming dress was worn
lately by one of the young English
prncesSes, and suited to a slim girlish
figure. The skirt was of thick white
moire antique, without trimming, and
laid in heavy folds in the back. The
bodice was half high. and the fictu of
delicate lace was held in place by a
cluster of yellow roses. A long sash of
white crepe de Chine was linotted about
the waist, and the ends were emhToid-

A very striking tennis dress has a
skirt of striped blue and white cloth,
over which was a drapery of ecrue
netting. The loose waist had full
sleeves, which were gathered into deep
cuffs, and these, as well as the wide,
square collar were embroidered with
tennis insignia. On the edges of the
skirt drapery, at the ends of the sashes
and on the hat for trimming were
wooden pompons, the color OF the tennis

The English yachting gowns are of
white or blue serge. A blue one has the

the top, and has surplice drapery cross

broidered in gold, and the dart-blue
stockings have little yellow anchors
